Strengths:
Overall this program was instrumental in the completion and success of my GMAT FE journey. When I first started studying for the test I had ordered the GMAC official study material and was just reviewing chapter after chapter. It became very clear to me early on that I had no way to effectively organize my study schedule for such a large test that covers so many different topics. TTP really did help me organize my time, goals, and what I should be studying/targeting every session leading up the the actual exam. This course was also rigorous in the sense that I felt like the practice was harder than the test itself, which really helped making the actual exam feel a lot less stressful.
Would make the product better:
As a comp sci. undergrad, I have a big thing for good intuitive UI and platforms that are flexible enough to meet the needs of all users. For me, I sometimes felt the UI and error tracking was a bit underwhelming in terms of functionality. I'd like to see the addition of custom error tracking statuses as I found I was often making errors that I didn't really feel fell into any of the fixed groups. I'd also like to see functionality to skip lessons instead of having to wait for them to expire.
Overall I don't think I have too much more to add than what was stated in terms of specific pros or cons. I think one of the keys of this course was not just helping me navigate the content of the test, but the structure and methodology of the test independent of whatever content it may contain. There were lots of pieces of information that helped me really approach the test in a more intelligent way that I would not have been able to do independently. They really take the time to break down the test so that you understand what the test is and what it's trying to do. I think once I really understood what the test was and how it was testing me it made me approach it in an entirely new way. There were sections throughout the course reminding me what my goals were, reminding me to take my time, and that studying for a test like the GMAT is a marathon and not a sprint.
